I've never hated EAs games much. Battlefield, Mass Effect, SKATE 2, and so many others have been games that I can legitimatly say I enjoy massively. But Origin is honestly one of the shittiest, most worthless annoying pieces of crap I've ever had the misfortune of using. I wouldn't mind it so much if EA didn't make their games especially for their own publishing software. Its not like a layour problem like it is with Steam, its something much worse (which I'm sure everyone knows by now), because it can scan your harddrive so they can advertise to you I suppose (but the potential for hacking/security violations seems far too high if I'm honest. Just imagine EA was Sony and Lulzsec was still going strong. Then we'd all be screwed).

And I'm not sure, but I've got my suspicions it caused my computer to blue screen. The only time its ever done that was the day I installed Origin. Not before, and not after I removed it. I know its not my computer lacking the ability to have it, it's an i7 with 8gb ram and a 1gb graphics card.

Sod it, I'm just sticking with Steam, because Valve don't seem to be invading our security quite so much.

Also, forgot to mention I got a new track up on soundcloud, take a listen if you like dubsteppy stuff :D
